Description: 2400+BUTTERCRUNCH BUTTERHEAD LETTUCE SEEDS3 GRAMS Planting Guide for Buttercrunch Butterhead Lettuce: 1. Site Selection: Buttercrunch butterhead lettuce grows best in cool climates with temperatures ranging between 60-70°F (15-21°C). Choose a location that receives partial to full sun and has well-draining soil. Ensure the area is free from weeds and has good air circulation. 2. Timing: Plant buttercrunch butterhead lettuce in early spring or late summer to avoid extreme heat. In areas with mild winters, it can also be planted in the fall. Check the expected maturity date on the seed packet to determine the appropriate planting time. 3. Soil Preparation: Buttercrunch lettuce prefers fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0-7.0. Amend the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility and drainage. Remove any rocks or debris from the planting area and lightly rake it to create a smooth surface. 4. Planting: Sow the lettuce seeds directly into the prepared soil, approximately 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) deep. Space the seeds about 8-10 inches (20-25 cm) apart in rows that are 12-18 inches (30-46 cm) apart. Alternatively, you can start the seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date and transplant the seedlings when they have grown to a size of 2-3 inches (5-7.5 cm) tall. 5. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base of the plants to avoid wetting the leaves, as this can encourage disease. A regular watering schedule will help prevent bitterness and ensure the lettuce remains tender. 6. Fertilization: Apply a balanced organic fertilizer or compost once a month to promote healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilization, as it may result in excessive leaf production with poor taste. 7. Thinning: When the lettuce seedlings have grown to about 2 inches (5 cm) tall, thin them to a spacing of 8-10 inches (20-25 cm) apart. This allows each lettuce plant to obtain adequate nutrients, sunlight, and air circulation. Harvesting Guide for Buttercrunch Butterhead Lettuce: 1. Maturity: Buttercrunch lettuce is ready for harvest when the heads reach a size of approximately 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) in diameter. The leaves should be dense, tightly formed, and have a vibrant green color. Generally, it takes about 55-65 days from planting to harvest. 2. Harvesting: Use clean and sharp garden shears or a knife to cut the head of lettuce approximately 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) above the soil level. Alternatively, you can pinch off outer leaves as needed, allowing the inner leaves to continue growing for an extended harvesting period. To ensure continued production, harvest the lettuce heads when they are young rather than waiting for them to become fully mature. 3. Storage: If not used immediately, wrap the harvested lettuce heads in a damp paper towel and store them in a plastic bag or airtight container in the refrigerator. Buttercrunch lettuce can stay fresh for up to two weeks when properly stored. By following this planting and harvest guide, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of buttercrunch butterhead lettuce throughout the growing season. Bon appétit!
